Feeder does not have a youtube player.

By design it should show a thumbnail image which you can click and it should open your browser / youtube app.

So I'm not sure what problem you are describing

I also have the same issue. It does not show the thumbnail image. When i click the icon to fetch the full article , then the same error message is displayed

That's from the site itself. Loading fulltext for a youtube feed is probably quite pointless.

While adding any YT feeds, choose the option for opening it in 'Default Browser' instead of 'Use app default'. Then on clicking the feed card it will take you to the preferred app that will play YT. You can edit the existing feeds to get the same result. I personally don't think its the responsibility of feeder to play YT videos.
